Run 1 of Week 3 - snail mode

Two days ago I was dreading the 3-minute runs. But as it turns out: They aren't that bad! Only two in this week after all. Phew!

I woke up with a headache and ditched my plan to go running early in the morning. Instead I slept in and went around 2pm. It stil takes some convincing to go out at first, but as soon as I'm out of the door, I'm all happy! It was a good choice to wait a bit as it stopped raining in the afternoon and the sun was coming out during my warmup walk. It was "only" 15 degrees, but it was the first run I did without my jacket on.

I tried - again - to slow down to see if I can make it through the 3 minutes without stopping. And this resulted in me getting through the 3 minute parts fine, but I covered only 3,5 kilometers. That's about the same as I did on Week One! Shouldn't I get much further now that I'm actually running more???

I've been told so many times not to think about the distance and to just work on stamina and endurance.

On my w5r1 I covered 1.97miles (not including warm up/cool down periods) which is 3.2km. I'm a dreadfully slow plodder but I'm out there doing it no matter what my pace is.

I think you are doing great, good luck for your next session.

WOW you're so fast! I only covered 2.4km on week 3 run 1 - it was, for the record, my shortest run of the whole programme!

Hope that helps and good luck - speedy gonzales! I'm on week 9 and am still mega chuffed if I hit 4km!

Speedy Gonzales? Haha.

Okay, seems I'm not the only one to have a short distance on this run.

But true, I should think more about building the stamina and not about the distance.
